• Koaxialkabel: Insert one end of the coaxial cable into the F-connector port on the main unit and the other end into the F-connector port on the remote unit. Use the provided adapters for BNC or RCA connections as needed.

Bedienungsanleitung

Allgemeine Bedienung

1. Ensure the 9-Volt battery is installed in the main unit.
2. Connect the cable to be tested to the appropriate ports on the main and remote units.
3. Select the desired test mode (RJ45 or Coax) using the switch on the side of the main unit.
4. Drücken Sie die PRÜFEN button to initiate the cable test.
5. Observe the LED indicators on both the main and remote units to interpret the test results.

RJ45 (LAN) Cable Testing

This mode tests RJ45 patch cords and network installations for proper wiring and continuity.

1. Connect the RJ45 cable to the main and remote units.
2. Set the switch on the main unit to RJ45.
3. Drücken Sie die PRÜFEN button. The LEDs on both units will sequentially light up from 1 to 8, indicating the status of each wire pair.
4. Interpretation of LEDs:
   • All LEDs light up sequentially on both units: Indicates a correctly wired cable (Pass).
   • LEDs do not light up or skip a number: Indicates an open circuit (Open).
   • Multiple LEDs light up simultaneously or out of sequence: Indicates a short circuit, miswire, or split pair.
   • "Low Batt" LED: Indicates the 9-Volt battery needs replacement.

Coaxial (A/V) Cable Testing

This mode tests coaxial cables (F-type, BNC, RCA with adapters) for continuity and shorts.

1. Connect the coaxial cable to the main and remote units (using adapters if necessary).
2. Set the switch on the main unit to KOAX.
3. Drücken Sie die PRÜFEN Taste.
4. Interpretation of LEDs:
   • "Pass" LED lights up: Indicates good continuity.
   • "Short" LED lights up: Indicates a short circuit in the cable.
   • Keine LEDs leuchten auf: Indicates an open circuit or no connection.
   • "Low Batt" LED: Indicates the 9-Volt battery needs replacement.
